@wolf480pl @cas I just assume they don't want to have to deal with a gazillion of undocumented SBCs that may only get 1 person to once push code that gets accepted, but then "orphaned" and break over time as they may not be willing to build & test every new kernel before release just to enshure it ain't broken!

It's absolute chaos and one of the reasons I didn't even try to build @OS1337 for the #Pi0W as of today...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@cas@treehouse.systems @wolf480pl@mstdn.io granted, the distain is mutual, given almost all #SBC & #SoC vendors refuse to do basic #documentation on how their shit works and barely release some dodgy images with custom kernel modules. - @olimex@mastodon.social and #RaspberryPi being an exception of the norm, but #Rockchip, #Allwinner and other SOCs are a real pain in the ass to support unless they are #ARMv8 with #UEFI to boot. #Apple's Hardware does have @AsahiLinux@treehouse.systems as project to care for *and* is popular enough to be *worth the hassle* for them, as it brings decent performance and battery runtime to the table...
